Tattoo of Kaponga

Silver fern

This tattoo requested by Alexandre is shaped after the adult fern and a scorpion was disguised in it (the solid black parts) to represent his zodiac sign.
Its claws are in black pointing downwards on the lower part while the sting is placed above the flax leaves on the left (family union).

The elements on the right of the leaf, from bottom to top are an octopus tentacle (tenacity, intelligence), a hammerhead shark motif (strength, determination) and a fish hook (prosperity).

The spear heads in the middle represent the warrior, courage and strength while shark teeth symbolize adaptability and protection.
